Americans' ability to fairly choose our own leaders is fundamental to our democracy.Given what we known about Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election,we must do everything we can at both the federal and state levels to protect the security and integrity of our election systems before voters go to the polls this year.
While the senate intelligence committee continues investigating the full extent of Russia's interference in the 2016 election,American intelligence assessments have already established that Russia hacked presidential campaign accounts,launched cyber attacks against at least 21 state election systems and attacked a U.S voting systems software company.Although there is no evidence that the Russian activity changed vote tallies on Election Day,these intrusions demonstrate a clear vulnerability that foreign hackers will try to exploit in upcoming election.
This is a wake-up call that we must heed going into upcoming elections.States needs to improve and modernize protections for our voting systems,voter registration data and ballots to prevent theft,manipulation and malicious computer hacking.

In the upcoming elections they must makesure that their computers security is tight and they must employ qualified people to protect them in order to overcome Russia hackers on assessing the system.
